Abstract:Based on GTN damage model, both experimental and FEM method were used to research the damage evolution of high strength 7075-T6 aluminum alloy during warm forming HFQ process. Through the microstructure observation, the damage evolution within tested material corresponds to the process of void growth, nucleation, coalescence and subsequent fracture. The response surface model between GTN parameters and critical points of tensile curve was built based on central composite design. Then, the genetic algorithm was adopted to determine damage parameters of this aluminum alloy. After that, damage distribution during square cup deep-drawing process was predicted by finite element software ABAQUS. The results show that the formability of aluminum alloy can be improved significantly with the temperature increasing. The fracture behavior and location obtained by experiment consist with those by prediction. So, it demonstrates the applicability of GTN damage model in analyzing formability of aluminum alloy during warm forming.
